EXACT protocol: 1 Gbps extensions
Solution: Extend the protocol for 1 Gbps ports and associated queues only.
Allow multiple queue allocate messages to be sent, one for each frame on a queue, up to a maximum of 15 per queue.
Allow the EQM in 1 Gbps mode to fetch multiple frames for the output single port and issue multiple queue fetch messages.
The frames may be from a single source or multiple sources.
The downstream frame reassembly buffer is reconfigured into 10 virtual buffers.
Up to 10 packets can be reassembled concurrently.
